    They’ve started aerating the greens and shutting down some of the courses near me now. It’s likely I’ll have to drop my new hobby and pick it up again in Spring. I’ve concluded I need to have someone look at my swing who knows what the heck he/she is talking about. I’ve never taken a lesson that I didn’t get something valuable from. The YouTube vids are OK but not as valuable as live, active feedback. At least for me.
  2. Thinking positive, it’s sure nice to have made a QB switch without losing a game. I’m not sure I’ve seen that before.
  3. It’s not like the Bears have demonstrated a focused direction at the QB position over the years. I think they signed Foles because they knew where this would likely end up, and Nagy just pulled the trigger earlier than maybe he thought he would. I’ll bet those missed deep throws were a big factor. Who knows what else was happening in the sidelines. Maybe guys were getting frustrated and it just started to become palpable.

    I just started playing as something to do that I feel comfortable with during the pandemic. I’m having a lot of fun but man, I didn’t appreciate how many things you have to do right to get a good swing on the ball. Right now my consistency isn’t there at all. But I like being able to go to the course and get paired up with strangers and just have fun. I feel like you get to see the better side of just about everyone on the course. It’s great.
  5. Failcons because it’s kind of a 2-for-1 deal.
  6. Why is he saying there’s a question whether the Bears go with Foles? Incredible comeback by the Bears. Just perfect in every way. I’ll probably regret this but that’s how good teams win football games.
  7. Well, here it is. One final chance to climb back into the game.
  8. This aspect of the game has always been so frustrating to watch. I don’t see how that call could be changed but it just seems in general catches that aren’t clear tend to be called randomly.
  9. I can’t see what happened.
  10. That’s football now. 2 of their drives facilitated by roughing the passer where there didn’t appear to be anything the defender could do about it except decide not to try to sack the QB.
  11. Stop throwing flags, Jeebus.
  12. 4 plays, TD or bust. If they don’t get it, so be it.
  13. Don’t think I’ve seen standings where the 3rd place team has clinched and the 2nd place team hasn’t.
  14. I’m first and foremost a B1G fan. Haven’t watched much either. A bit more yesterday.
  15. I do like the playcalling early, but if it bogs down, gotta make the horsefeathering FG or it means nothing. That little misdirection/draw to Cohen was brilliant.
  16. I’m sick of it. College teams have better kickers. Lots of them.
  17. Doesn’t look like it will help us.
  18. Woodruff is dealing tonight. I guess if we’re going to vomit out a 5 run inning to lose at least it’s nice to watch the Cards mowed down in their own building.

    NFL Week 2

    That took guts. 54 yards, never a doubt.
  20. Whoops, Brewers just won. Throw all your hate on me if the Cubs also lose Edit: actually blame Kimbrel No I blame you. And Kimbrel.
  21. At least he throws over to first on target
  22. Emergency meeting today, apparently. Fat lady warming up the pipes.
  23. So what’s the plan? There’s no way they can play 55 games within the days left on the schedule (can’t even start until Thursday at the earliest). Even if they start playing minor leaguers now it’s just too late to do it.
  24. We all know what college football games are like, nobody can tell me you can make that environment safe. Whether it’s drunken fans crawling over each other to get in/out of their seats, to jumping around and screaming when something good happens, to the parties before & after the game (the reality is these will happen regardless of rules). It’ll be fertile territory for the virus. Plus, selfishly, I don’t get the donation portion of my season tix back - just the face value. I’d rather have all the scheduled games to get the most value per dollar. Moving it to Spring offers a potentially safer environment and better financials for both fans and the schools. Seems like an obvious move to me.
